Several people have asked me where I got the notion of the hyperneurotypicals vs autism spectrum culture war on my map. IIRC this (~6 months ago) was the first thing I read about it, but it's since come up a lot quillette.com/2017/07/18/neu

While some small minority of people may be neurologically incapable of avoiding offending people because they can’t read social signals (ok, get a doctor’s note), this mostly seems like a way for trolls to smirk as they hide behind the skirts of the disability rights movement.

that's why the tactical shift from neurotypical to hyperneurotypical is interesting... it turns the small minority into a large minority: if you make the rules subtle and complex enough, everybody turns into a rule breaker

Education in general discriminates against people with cognitive challenges. This is also sometimes called “delivering grades.”
That’s not meant (just) as snark. There are also people who are against grades, which they regard as an elitist tool of neoliberal reproduction.
